Risso's Dolphin - c5 individuals that seemed to be fishing alone
Bottlenose Dolphin - c3
Common Dolphin - c30 (including a group at 1620 showing really close that included about 5 adults and 5 young, 3 of which were as small as I have ever seen - can't have been much bigger than 18 inches!)
Common Porpoise - Lots and showing well.

A flock of around 40 Barnacle Geese flew over fairly high heading north at Llanychaer presumably birds from the feral flock at Cardigan.
Slightly later a Green Sandpiper drop in on the pond at Llanychaer

Whilst watching Apache and Ringo our semi resident bottlenose Dolphins out on the breakwater yesterday (Monday) a single calling Sandwich Tern was fishing close by in the mouth of the harbour
(Fishguard)

Another short session on the off chance that the strong wind might have blown something in. In the two hours 16 Commic Terns was all I could muster but it did rain heavily for half of the time.
Manxies in huge numbers, timed counts gave an average of 5100 per hour on the close line of Manx with equal or more numbers travelling east further out.

Interesting movement again of hirundines, circa 300 mostly House Martins on roof & wires when we went out then on our return probably 200+ mostly Swallows in evidence.
Later on while sampling some of the Rhone Valleys finest in the garden, a magnificent sight of a group of 4 Herons over heading West, surely not long off roosting but where I wonder?

As with Adrian's post lots of House Martins and Swallows coming in off the sea this morning at Pwllderi totalling many hundreds. Five Chough in field near youth hostel.Also several Grayling butterflies seen my first this year.

Nothing to report really until a loud Emergency Vehicle siren came past & helped by a young lad clambering along the rocks on the Fishguard side, in the ensuing panic 9 Whimbrel flew out & landed on the beach & it looks like the oystercatcher numbers are starting to increase slightly as is usual for early August. Black Headed Gulls numbering around 40 but no Meds.
